On Saturday at SA, we will have eleventh running of the Thors Echo Stakes, which is a six furlong sprint for CA-breds, with a $100.00 purse that has been consistent over that time.
After 10 Years, The Cliff Hanger Stakes Is Back
For the first time since 2016, the Cliff Hanger Stakes will be run at MTH, sending a field of six a little more than a mile around the turf course. The race was only run between 2011 and 2016, and would see its distance fluctuate between a mile and a mile and an eighth during that time.
The Keertana Is Anyone’s Race
Saturday’s action at CD will include the 11th running of the Keertana, which sends older females a mile and a half around the turf course. This ungraded stake began modestly with just a $65.00 purse, but did reach the current $250.00 level for the first time in 2024.
